this is probablyy one of the most powerful and fun build i ever played in 4k hours of path of exile, i have a question, what do you think about using only 1 poet and a shield with +1 physical spell skill and reduced mana reserv for using also herald of purity? i can put bladeblast on chest and remove faster attack for power charge on crit or awakened controlled destruction, what do you think? this is my gear for now

There is someone on P42, who has pretty much min-maxed the DPS/dodge variant of the build. You can check out his gear, it's very inspiring.

On PoB, your bladefall (barrage version) should read 100K+ damage per hit with all flasks, focus, power charges, desecrated ground and without RF. His version is 170K. Your life should be above 6300HP.

The final version of your min-max build would depend on if you want more DPS (like the DPS/Dodge variant) or more survivability. If you want to reach 100, I'd go for survivability, otherwise you will be frustrated with the 1-shots, mostly due to lag. If you like deleting bosses like no tomorrow, then go for the DPS dodge variant.

With the survival build, you can still kill conquerors in 3s and 100-to-0 Sirius whenever he casts "Feel the thrill of the void!", but you will have full chaos resists and perhaps even 90% chaos resists with divine flesh. Your PoB damage will read 100K for bladefall before RF.

With the DPS dodge variant build, delirium 100% can be done very quickly.


For now, DPS-wise,

Firstly, you probably want +1.5% to attack crit on your chest rather than spell crit. The reason is because your barrage is the limiting factor as your spell crit is higher than your attack crit. But this is minor, as long as you can reach 100% crit on PoB.

Secondly, for the helm you could try Inward Crown for now. That should give you both more DPS and HP, provided you have enough crit already. In the long run, switch to a Hubris Circlet with +power charge and physical spell damage.

Thirdly, you want to have fire damage somewhere to ignite for your Cinderswallow.

Fourthly, you need accuracy somewhere to reach 100% hit chance. I put mine on my rings.

Fifthly, gloves can have culling strike. :P also can increase spell damage and attack speed.

Sixthly, +1 dexterity skill level on amulet as well.

Seventhly, +60% damage during soul gain prevention on boots. (Crafted)


Survival-wise,

No chaos resists, and not maxed out life rolls.

Used my old frost blades char to try this build and I'm enjoying it so far! Still lacking some good gear tho... The damage is fine but I'm still pretty squishy, any advices how to improve it?

The setup is a bit different. Added herald of purity and i'll try to link 3 auras with enlighten and add skitterbots as well while dropping righteous fire. Also added enduring cry in the meantime for toughness until i figure out how to improve survivability.

Aaaand, anyone willing to sell an Starkonja's Head with volley enchant by any chance?

I would sell off that amulet and get a proper amulet with good life roll and crit multi. We are tight on gem slots, having to throw in 2 more auras either removes some sort of utility or burst damage


The implicit of your items arent rolled at their max, pretty wasteful there
Your crafted life on ring isnt the max roll too, every little bit counts to survivability

Assassin mark on hit isnt that huge of a dps boost against bosses, ill go for 2 life gain on hit rings with decent stats to craft -mana/shock on focus
You dont have shock on focus, thats a loss of burst ontop of losing RF

Your gloves has a low life roll, not worth sacrificing life rolls for t1 attack speed, the priority there is life roll. As of now, with harvest, getting high life roll shouldnt be an issue, that should be where you dump all your life annul/slam on

Starkonja can be replaced by a power charge/highlife roll warlord helm instead, if you can get a base

Also your barrage shouldnt be levelled


Switching to the acrobatics tree once you have a good enough life pool will significantly increase survivability
